STANDARDIZATION OF VARIETIES 
The varieties of wheat most widely grown usually are the best 
adapted. However, new and improved varieties are continually 
being developed by Federal, State, and private breeders. The United 
States Department of Agriculture and the State agricultural experi- 
ment stations test the new varieties in comparison with the old and 
thus are in a position to recommend the best variety or varieties for 
each locality and State. The agricultural extension service, acting 
upon the results from Federal and State experiment stations, advises 
growers as to the best variety for any particular locality. 
A reduction in the number of varieties grown and the standardiza- 
tion of communities on the best adapted variety is the mutual aim 
of all Federal and State station and extension workers.
